September 15, 2008

The 25 complete sets of  gear were delivered on September 11.

Captain Guastini, and Deputy Chief Hall have inventoried the gear completely.

On September 15, Captain Guastini, and Deputy Chief Hall started issuing the  gear to department members, and this should be completed within a week.

The department has received an invoice from Shipman’s in the amount of $55,000 to cover the 25 sets of gear that was ordered. 

I spoke with the treasurer last week and he informed me that we do have sufficient funds to pay this invoice.  I will be petitioning the feds for reimbursement of the $55,000.

Captain Guastini has contacted the company who we ordered the jumpsuits from.  They have not received the jumpsuits, and do not know when they will be getting them.

Regards,

Robert Mann
